WOOOW Home is INCREDIBLE!!!

I just spent the last 8 hours (no joke) on Home. (Ofcourse with breaks for the Thanksgiving stuff).

Man this is addicting.

If you plan on doing nothing but walking around in Home, Home will probably bore you. But if you plan on talking to other people, meeting new people and stuff, it's a BLAST.

Me, and 3 other people were doing the running man for atleast an hour and a half straight, and just left it there while all of us were talking about random BS and making each other laugh.

Then there's people who are so weird by making the weirdest characters or have funny names come in and we talk about them and they join our group, this stuff is great now I have 3 new PSN friends who I feel like I actually KNOW and not some random people who add me because i'm good at a game or something.

Seriously PS3 owners who are planning on using Home as a social network are in for a really huge treat. This stuff is massively addicting in my opinion.

P.S. I'd also like to add that i'm really really glad Sony has taken a long time finishing Home. To say this application is polished is an understatement. I have not gotten into 1 major bug yet, no problems what so ever. There's a few glitches that people found out, but no big things that would ruin your experience or anything. A lot of people were complaining that there wasn't much to do in Home, but that's because they're running around by THEMSELVES. Once you join a group it's insanely fun to go to the bowling alley or just sit in a circle in the Mall and talk for a long time.

Dude i agree with you 100%.. Home is downright amazing! speaking as a owner of both the 360 and PS3 I can honestly say that yes, Home beats Xbox live big time.. Infact thats a lot coming from me becasue i was the biggest cheerleader of Xbox live and use to think that no service will be able to top it but man, after spending the last few days in Home, its just so amazing.. Put it this way, I game A LOT over xbox live and have owned the 360 for 2 years, I have met and added more friends on my friends list on my PS3 in the last 3 days ive had home than I have with xbox live! the cool thing about Home is how when you add a friend you actually feel more interested in keeping a gaming relationship with them whereas if you add someone over Xbox live you might only stay in contact with them every now and then..

For example i walked up to a guy in home, started playing pool, we where chatting about killzone 2... another guy walks up and says "Hey i heard you guys talk about Killzone 2" so we where like yea it will be amazing. So while me and my friend finished up our game of pool, we added the other guy that came up to us to our friends list, well i invited them back to my home "apartment" and we just sat there and talked about games for 30 mins, after that we all joined a game of warhawk and played for 2 hours.. Yes Home IS AMAZING!! I use to be ADDICTED to xbox live and use to get on it EVERYDAY! I havent touched my 360 since I got Home.. The only flaw I see with home is that its so addictive and fun that it actually distracts me from playing my PS3 games lol.

I use to buy all my 3rd party games for the 360 and just bought PS3 exclusives for my PS3, but if its true that starting in Januaray that ALL PS3 games will HAVE to have trophies and most of the PS3 games will have Home content, I will definitly start buying the PS3 versions of all my 3rd party games now. Home is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I have a feeling this is going to be huge! I love it so far and it will only get better from here!! OH AND ITS FREE!!

Haha... I don't believe you. :P

I personally would have gotten bored and left... but yeah I don't find it incredible. It's ok at best for me.

it's just a big chat roomiamshivy

Kind of like the internet.

NOW GET OFF! 

it's just a big chat roomiamshivy

It's fun. I've gotten quite a few friend requests off there too. It's easy finding people to play with in games like LBP and such, just by running around and asking people.

So far I don't think I've ran into any Gamespot members in there... Or at least no one has told me. I asked once in the movie theater, but nobody answered.

If you enjoy having a cyber social life..instead of a real one...McdonaIdsGuy

lol ur addicted to home?

try this...

after this its...

BYE BYE!!!

This makes me more and more glad i go outside and meet people.MotoJ19

I like Home, there is alot of potential for the service because alot of the features there are locked, it is simple for now but I like it, Gamespot should make Systemwars club in HOME :P

Bowling is cool but playing pool is a bit hard, they should fix the controls for pool.

I can't wait for the full fledged Home service, the potential is big for Home and it's free.

The community is OK for the most part but there are some MAJOR morons there. You only have to look at how some people swoop towards female avatars to see how moronic they are, not realising that 3/4 of them are probably dudes.

Pretty limited so far, but that's because it's just a server stress test at the moment. Can't wait to see what they add over the coming months because the possibilities are pretty much endless. Great addition to the PS3 IMO.

BTW, I praise these boards to an extent, honestly. They're my favorite on the net. How many people do you see say that "I'm just on GS for the forums"? Alot :wink:.

Ew, that sounds like Second Life. :?Verge_6

Wow what is wrong with some of you, you guys really pounced on me because of the running man crap, that's not the point I was trying to make.

The point is I was talking with people who had my similar interests and we were all messing around and having fun, I live in NYC and I don't know about the people here who live in little small communities but I can't just go out and meet some random person and be like "do you like games want to start talking!?". It just doesn't work like that, and this Home thing is a great tool in my opinion to talk to people with your similar interests.

Get off your high real life horses and have some fun online, real life sucks and you know it, I go out I go to work and come home and that's basically it until I go to college so this can be fun until I get there, along with normal videogames but ofcourse you don't judge yourself on playing videogames because everyone does it.

Also to the guy who said everyone swarms around girls, honestly I haven't seen that THAT much to be complaining about it. I met a few real girls who talked on the mic's and there were like 2 other guys and we were just conversating normally, I only saw 1 guy who was pretty much stalking this girl, but other then that everyone has been just talking normally and stuff. The swarms of guys on girls stuff is highly exaggerated considering a lot of guys make girl avatars too.

Ew, that sounds like Second Life. :?Verge_6

when is it coming out?
